Animal Crossing: The Red Curse 2 - The Red Kiss

"Thanks grandma" I said as I open the disk from inside the Hannukah present. It was Hannukah day and i had just recieved a new copy of the animal crossing game for nintendo switch - Animal Crossing: New horizons I was really happy to be playing this as this was a good series. I couldn't wait to find out what was gonna happen in the story, and try out all the cute and fun new activities. It was gonna be a great Hannukah.

I plugged the game into my switch and pressed play. The logo loaded up and everything seemed normal, however when I pressed the new game button the screen came up with an error, a sign saying

"error a save file already exists"

I chose to load the saved file, and found that there was infact someone's game in the save file already.

"Grandma!" I shouted Did you buy this game preowned

"Yes we found this game in a box in the arctic" she said "I hope you don't mind."

I explained that I didn't care and that it would be fun to see what kind of weird decor this person might have had in their town before I began my own game.

I loaded the save file and it was called "CURSED KISS". Hmm that's strange, I thought, as I didn't know anyone called Cursed Kiss, but hen I didn't think too much about it as I thought it might be a nickname. So I loaded up the game and pressed select.

There was a beep as the town loaded up and I found myself standing in the town square.

"Hello Cursed Kiss" said Tom Nook, "A lots changed in town since you were last here, would you like a tour"

I selected No because I wanted to be looking arond on he town on my own, so I went down to the stream, which was beautiful and filled with fish.

I walked awat from mr nnok. When he appeared though something was very wrong with this. Instead of behaving normally he got very close to my character and said

"Give us a kiss darling."

"What the fuck Mr Nook" I yelled

"What, come on beautfiul just give me a little smooch.!" I was very grossed out as Mr Nook was an old man and I didn't see him as a romantic character but a friendly officer type character.

What happened next almost made my cry. The game cut up to a close up picture of Mr Nook with his lips extended out to get ready to kiss. His lips were hyper-realistic and they were red a cracked like they had some weird disease. I screamed and threw the switch screen away. It all went black, and when I tried to pick it up again, the game wouldn't lie.

Hmm, that is strange, I though, but didn't think too much of it except that it was some greepy clitch. I put away the switch and I went to bed.

Suddenly in the night I woke up as I heard a strange banging above me. The only thing above me was the arctic where grandma had found the game, so I got up and went into the hallway and climbed up the ladder in to the arctic. It was dark, so I turned on the lights.

The room was full of boxes, and a big rack of coats and hats, which were covered in shadows. I walked around looking for the cuase of the noise, and suddenly I heard something banging in the source of the noise - it was coming from behind the rack of fur coats. I walked slowly over in fear, and pulled away the coats ...

Behind the coats was a big man, but his skin was covered in weird red growths, blood red and looking like his skin had been flayed off, and glisting wet. He grinned evilly as he saw me, and puckered his lips.

"Give me a kiss darling I know you liked my game!" He reached out towards me with both arms as if to embrace me.

"No way!" I screamed and ran back towards the ladder, but one of his wet gross hands grabbed my shirt and started to pull me back. Just then I realized outside the sun was coming up, and I was near the window. I quickly grabbed the controller for the blind and twisted it and sunlight blasted in and hit the man with the red skin. He tottered backwards and fell backwards out another window with a crash, falling down to earth below with a plat. I ran after him to the window, but when I looked out, there was only a red stain on the concrete to prove he had ever been there in the first place.

I don't know what really happened that night - was it all real, or had it just been a nightmare? What was the strange red curse he had talked about? I didn't know, but I knew that there could only be one answer for me ... to never play that game again. I had learnt my lesson.
